Dr Pauline Loewenberger

Senior Lecturer

Dr Pauline Loewenberger

I have been lecturing in higher education since 2002 and am an experienced Senior Lecturer and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

As my second career my expertise builds on in excess of 20 years' experience in the commercial sector with companies including Barclays Bank, Halifax Building Society, TSB, Hambro Countrywide, Hill House Hammond and Honeywell Bull.

The expertise from my doctoral studies has been extremely influential in informing my teaching and practice, combining blended delivery with reflective practice through action learning and research to deliver a practical approach to organisational revitalisation.

I am supporting Senior Management in a public sector organisation as a critical friend in the national roll out of creativity and innovation, including Master Class delivery.
